[10:21] <Ddorda> I want to make my ubuntu into a media center, any preferred media center? Im not sure what's the best
[10:23] <bazhang> Ddorda, try in #ubuntu please
[10:23] <Ddorda> bazhang: you're right. sorry
[10:55] <topyli> nobody knows what's "the best" anyway :)
[10:57] <erUSUL> Tina Turner knows. "You are simply the Best" i allways thought the song refers to me XXDD
[11:07] <vish> !best
[11:07] <ubottu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[11:08] <vish> Ddorda: ^  :D
[11:15] <Ddorda> vish: cool stuff you've got there :D
[13:52] <IdleOne> Ddorda: Not claiming this is the best way but http://www.mythbuntu.org/
[14:29] <Ddorda> IdleOne: thanksv :)
[14:30] <IdleOne> Ddorda: there is also MediaTomb in the repos you can take a look at
[14:30] <IdleOne> and you are welcome
[14:34] <Ddorda> IdleOne: Ill have a look. thanks again :)
[14:34] <IdleOne> sure thing

[21:12] <sheats> Hi!   I have a little project I've been working on: http://ircanswers.com/  I have been logging content in #ubuntu for a month or so http://ircanswers.com/ubuntu/ but just realized today that I need to get permission to do so first.
[21:13] <sheats> Who can I contact to ask permission?
[21:19] <IdleOne> sheats: the IRC council
[21:19] <IdleOne> Ubuntu IRC council that is
[21:19] <sheats> IdleOne: how do I contact them?
[21:21] <IdleOne> mailing list, looking for a link gimme a minute
[21:23] <IdleOne> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-irc I believe is correct
[21:26] <marienz> sheats: hi there
[21:26] <sheats> hi
[21:26] <sheats> thanks IdleOne
[21:26] <IdleOne> yup
[21:26] <sheats> marienz: are you the one who emailed me?
[21:27] <marienz> sheats: if you've reconfigured your bot to only join channels you've got permission for I'll unban it network-wide.
[21:27] <marienz> yes, that was me
[21:27] <sheats> yup, it's done
[21:27] <sheats> sorry about that -- like i said, i didn't realize it was a policy
[21:27] <marienz> sheats: done, thanks for cooperating :)
[21:28] <IdleOne> sheats: Still need to get permission from IRCC
[21:28] <IdleOne> :)
[21:28] <sheats> yup, will do
[21:28] <IdleOne> ok.
[21:29] <sheats> IdleOne: do you know if there are any conditions or reasons they may allow or reject?
[21:29] <IdleOne> sheats: I won't presume to speak for them
[21:29] <sheats> IdleOne: ok, np
[21:29] <IdleOne> I know that they are aware of the situation
[21:30] <IdleOne> now it is between you and them :)
[21:30] <marienz> sheats: see also http://blog.freenode.net/2007/12/more-blogging-about-logging/ , this is a bit deja-vu-like for some of us
[21:30] <marienz> sheats: and http://blog.freenode.net/2007/12/blogging-about-logging/ preceding it
[21:31] <sheats> ah, ok -- thanks
[21:32] <IdleOne> catchy title for a blog post
[21:32] <IdleOne> rhymes and I like that
[21:32] <IdleOne> :)
[21:35] <sheats> guess I should have done a little more research on the idea :)
[21:36] <IdleOne> sheats: I think the issue is more what is going to be done with the content and is Ubuntu ok with that.
[21:37] <erUSUL> good now i can have fun looking for myself in irseek
[21:37] <IdleOne> also having a logbot in the channel not knowing about it
[21:38] <sheats> yup, it makes sense
[21:38] <sheats> one thing i've done and will do a better job at is masking the nicknames
[21:38] <sheats> my only goal is to get good content out there so when i search for a question that has already been answered i'll find it
[21:38] <sheats> like stackoverflow.com
[21:40] <marienz> sheats: if I were you I'd try to offer services back to the channels you index, like a way to conveniently link to certain answers from irc
[21:40] <marienz> sheats: many channels already run a factoid bot to cover frequently answered questions, this would be similar.
[21:41] <erUSUL> marienz: sheats if irseek were allowed i do not see why yours wouldn't ...
[21:41] <m4v> irseek is allowed?
[21:42] <nhandler> m4v: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/IRSeekDiscussion
[21:42] <sheats> marienz: yes, for sure -- i had thought of that and think that's a great idea
[21:42] <erUSUL> back in the day it was allowed
[21:43]  * erUSUL was already around here that "back in the day" ;)
[21:47] <nhandler> IdleOne: FYI, the IRC Council ML is irc-council@   (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/irc-council)
[21:47] <IdleOne> nhandler: thanks
[21:47] <IdleOne> sheats: read what nhandler just said
[21:48] <sheats> IdleOne: thanks
